He continued:
The legislature of Maine way back Is far
as 1916 declared liquor selling to be crime,
and passed a law for the suppression of the
traffic, but unfortunately that law Was a dead
letter; it did not carry with it the means of
its execution. In 1851, the now famous Maine
law was enacted, and on the I'd day of June
of that year received the signature of Cover.

position at the next election, as the rum ele-
ment then as now combined against the
election of any man who has the moral cour-
age to stand up and say Il am a man and
will not bow to your will or your behest."
That law has done very much to place Maine
IN the proud position she occupies to dav.
Thus our State planted the banner of etatu-
tory prohibition on the outposts of our civil.
ization, and in September, 1884, her people
by msjority of 1922 votes incorporated
that principle into her organic law; and thus

TREASON DISCOVERED.

monstrations. The correspondent was g
lynx-eyed patriotic Republican profes
sionslly, bat really an unnaturalized
Scotch-Americsn subject OF her most
gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, and he
was on the look out for any evidences of
rebellion he might see. In Memphis his
soul was overweight by what he be-
Iieved to be the futtering OF z
rebel flag, and he hastily telegraphed the
fact to his paper. Later in the day
be ascerssined that the tattered
emblem was not rebel flag, but an old
colonial banner. This required e second
telegram in explanation. To convince
his paper that although mistakes in flags
occur 10 the best regulated families, be
telegraphed that the Memphis bands
played "Dixie'' during the day. This
he believed was an item of news worth
sending a regiment of soldiers after. He
expressed his horror in well-rounded

them, the editor having heard "DiXie'

answered: "In small way I have Sc

and hope that the efficient city authori-
ties will see to it that 1t is kept good"
With that native simplicity which is so
charming in a little blue-eyed girl
of q pretty and healthy countenance
she continued her questioning. She
asked: (Which is the purest of water?"
I replied: "Distllled water and that
natural water procured from dissolved
snow, obtained from mountain or noun
tains situated fsr away from the smoke
and vapors of villages, towns and cities"
With beautiful smile Eyes, smile can
really assume truly beautiful FORM and
slight twinkle in the corner Of her blue

LIVING MASTODONS.
They are Said to be Found In the Interior
OF Alaska.
Alaska Pree Press.

Alaska Pree Press.
IN conversation with Mr.. D. H. Sum-
mers, Of Denver, Col who came out this
fall with the first party of miners from
Forty-Mile creek, we learned that the ex-
istence Of living msstodons near the
head waters of White river was not the
mere fabrications Of the northern furri-
ers, but that the Stick Indians had posi-
lively told him that not later than i've
years sgo such an animal had been seen
by them. One Of the Indians said that
while hunting one day in that unknown
section he came across an immense track,
sunk to q depth OF several inches in the
moss, and from the description as the
Indian marked it out to him in the sand,
il much resembled an elephants track,
and was larger around than S barrel
Upon striking it the Indian followed the
curious trail, which, to all appearances,
was fresh, and tracking from one i'm
mense side to the other for a distance Of
some miles, he came in full view OF his
game. And what game! Tee hunter
gave one look, then turned and fed as
though pursued by the evil one.
These Indians, as @ clsss, are the
bravest Of hunters, and with mo, other
weapon than the spear will attack and
Stay the st. Elias grizzly. Bat the in-'
mense proportions of this new kind OF
game both startled and filed the hunter,
brave as he was, with great fear, and he
imagined his only safety lay in swift and
